TIME/OUT OF JOINT is a highly eclectic collection of topics dealing with the paradox of time reversal seen as both, a scientific and cultural phenomenon.
It is a feature-length experimental documentary (to meet its highly experimental topic) that investigates groundbreaking scientific discoveries such as the reduction of light velocity, auditory time reversal mirrors, the legacy of Richard Feynman's particle discoveries as well as two orthodox time travel theories from the filed of quantum physics. In addition the backwards turning of time also appears as "age reversal" which applies stem-cell cloning, among other concepts from the research field of gerontology.
Finally the project features several "interpretations" of time reversal from various cultural and artistic practices, including time-slice photography, backwards speech experiments, backward masking in music and "reverse-forward" film techniques.

Time/ Out of Joint is now co-produced for German Television by The Hamburg FilmFund and 3Sat Television, Germany.

The project is conceived and directed by New York-based German award-winning filmmaker Caspar Stracke.

Producer: Madeleine Dewald of Dock 43, Hamburg
